Leave your thoughts about Intruder in the Dust.
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostPowerhouse mix of racial drama and mystery, vividly shot on location in Mississippi. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA brilliantly accomplished "racial bias" cycle film of the 1940s. |
| User ReviewMelody NThis movie was before it's time. Really enjoy seeing Juano Hernandez walk with his head up and snicker with his eyes in the face of racism |
| User ReviewJef C"They are running from themselves.... As long as someone doesn't run... it will be okay." |
| User ReviewBob WImportant on several levels: fine adaptation of Faulkner novel (very difficult), illustration of racial climate and filmed on location in Mississippi, a good historical story. |
| User ReviewDarwin KAhead of its time in tackling the issues surrounding biassed justice in the fourties. A black man finds himself in the horrid position of being persecuted before having a honest tribulation. His only rescue is an unlikely band of heroes: an angelic young man, his black friend and an old lady. The movie is very delicate in its subject matter and doesn't judge any of its characters. They are part of a system that is outrageously wrong. I particularly love the character of Lucas Beauchamp (Juano Hernandez), he defies being a caricature by playing him as the strong and powerful man that he is. |
| User ReviewDavid SA frank exploration of race relations in the South. Didactic, but mostly in a good way. |
| User ReviewScott RA compelling racial crime drama based in MS. |
| User ReviewAshley HA compelling racial crime drama based in MS. |
| User ReviewRobert EGreat movie. William Faulkner's racially charged story of a Black man who was found with a smoking gun and a murdered community leader. The only thing standing between him and a lynch mob of hyper-racist is a small elderly woman and two teenage boys. Excellent choice for Black history month. WARNING: The n-word is used liberally. |
